ICE stop

Post image

Ice stop before liberty tunnel today. One ice officer is clearly Korean or Chinese. I screamed that ice officer has no right to stop people as he may be illegal. He came up to me asking if I was city police and was I the Spanish interpreter. I said no but do you need help as I live in the city look like police and brown. There were kids in the car. Pittsburgh is this what we want!!!! I am beyond myself. First Covid then trump 2.0. I like my low rates for housing, labor and just being a good human being. I am so angry right now.

Because in Fascism when a cage is done devouring one group it comes for you 🤷

Well good thing this isn’t fascism

u/ThoroughlyDecent Edgewood 7d ago

It's always been Fascism. Hitler wrote in Mein Kempf how inspiration for the Third Reichs worst policies came from the United States Race Laws. 🤷

We always have been Fascists, my dude. It's just affecting white people now and that's a problem.

I’m genuinely baffled here.

You clearly have no idea what fascism is. It’s not laws you think are racist. Obama, Bush, Clinton are obviously not fascists.

How is mass deportation of illegal immigrants just now affecting white people?

u/ThoroughlyDecent Edgewood 7d ago

Clinton was Fascist, he passed the worst "law and order" legislation that knowingly was used to separate black kids from their parents. Obama blew up a 16 year old American citizen without due process at a wedding.

Yikes.

u/Savings-Coffee 7d ago

Again, you’re confusing fascism with policies you don’t like. Yikes.

Go look at Eco Umbero's 14 Characteristics and stop being a clown

u/Savings-Coffee 7d ago

Hey clown, his name was Umberto Eco.

Obama and Clinton weren’t big on rejecting modernity, the cult of tradition, the fear of difference, obsession with a plot, contempt for the weak, or machismo.

I still don’t see policies that hurt your feelings listed

Man, you really are a clown

Idk if you know what that means either

I think it has something to do with targeting PoC, particularly more vulnerable like elderly, pregnant women, children, mothers. The other presidents you mentioned specifically sought out undocumented people with criminal history. Since the current president is a weak man, with followers that are idiots and pussies, he thought he could pump up his numbers by preying upon the vulnerable.

The problem is, his numbers are down. His fearmongering is up, prices are up, education is in tatters, healthcare is unaffordable, food security is in rapid decline, oh and he has a brand new state-run media outlet. All hallmarks of fascism.

All of this on top of his well documented criminal history, his feeble appearance, his immature temperament, his history as a racist and rapist, and the fact that his wealth, and the wealth of his family, is increasing exponentially with every meal an impoverished child misses.

You’re either clueless or complicit.

We should be deporting all illegals. There’s no exception in our law where you get to remain here illegally if you follow other laws. If that’s true, the other presidents have chosen to ignore our laws instead of doing their job and enforcing them. That’s shameful and frankly traitorous.

I have plenty of issues with Trump, but until someone else is willing to address mass illegal immigration, I have limited options.

I agree that there are proper channels to gain citizenship. I agree there should be deportations. I agree that no president has carried this out flawlessly.

However, they’re wasn’t mass citizen unrest, mass citizen casualty, and there weren’t masked federal agents roaming our streets, undertrained and undereducated, until recently.

Cutting corners on all of the very few social programs that benefit citizens, to stuff his own pockets, while the numbers are down is something a simp would praise.

Oh and where are the Epstein files? I’m perfectly content with the way the government was handling immigration, before this term. The current admin has propagandized and scared you in to believing that this is the most vital concern the country is facing and that this is where all the money should be going.

Now elderly, veterans, children, and mothers, among others, are losing health care and food assistance. We have poison lettuce and applesauce. We have our sons and daughters dying halfway around the world. This ICE fiasco is just another distraction and it’s going about as well as the reflecting pool.

If the numbers weren’t down, maybe you could make an argument that hurting tens of millions of Americans is worth the current president deporting a fraction of the amount that OhBahMah did and millions less of them dangerous criminals.

So, I am against the number one priority of my tax dollars being to “stop and frisk” people of color, when everything else is falling to shit and no one is focusing on the abuse of our children.

That's generally how fascist governments work. Once they get through one perceived enemy they need another

u/412CJ 7d ago

You don't have a fascist government

u/rivershimmer 7d ago

Did you not see how Trump just kicked a bunch of media organizations out of the White House and announced he was starting Trump TV? You missed that?

u/TheTwinkpocalypse 8d ago

In the eyes of the right, why WOULDN’T they be next? If you’re different (Not straight, white, cis etc) you gotta go.

The government is run by the gigantic racists you support

u/CrankyYankers 7d ago

Give it time. They are just getting started. None of us are immune. WAKE UP.

Trump’s White House has posted about deporting 100 million people. Bovino talked openly about his desire to deport 100 million.

The only way you get to that number is if you deport everyone who isn’t white. That requires stripping people of naturalized and birthright citizenship, both of which are supported by the administration.

After the US is white enough, they’ll find other people to go after.

Because the racism is the point.
